Arsenal midfielder Granit Xhaka feels his relationship with the support is improving.
The Swiss was infamously stripped of the captaincy by former manager Unai Emery after clashing with fans.
Speaking to The Athletic, Xhaka outlined his belief that they are growing closer.
“People were good with me,” he said. “Of course they might say something – that is part of our life.
“But after what happened two years ago we were very far from each other.
“I think we are step by step coming closer and closer. I don’t believe we will be best friends.
“But what I can tell people is from the first day until the last day I am here I will do everything for the football club.”
He went on to add: “I will make mistakes because everyone does. We are not perfect.

“But I will give 100 per cent in every training session and every game. This is my message to the fans.
“Sometimes you have misunderstandings and I believe this was the only reason for the problem we had between us.
“I feel much more love than one or two years ago but it is a slow process we have to do with each other.”
